THE STORY OF JACK THE RIPPER
Jack the Ripper terrorized London in 1888, killing at least five women and mutilating their bodies in an unusual manner, indicating that the killer had a substantial knowledge of human anatomy. ... The moniker “Jack the Ripper” originates from a letter—which may have been a hoax—published at the time of the attacks.Leonard Matters suggested Jack the Ripper was seeking revenge on the prostitutes who he believed had murdered his son. ... Unknown to Herbert, Kelly was suffering from Syphilis, which he contracted and killed him two years later.The murderer is also sometimes thought to have made contact by letter with several public figures. These letters, like the chalk message, have never been proved to be authentic, and may have been hoaxes. Jack the Ripper was never caught and he is not thought to have killed again after November 1888.Two of the main suspects that this happened to are Aaron Kosminski and Thomas Cutbush. Both men were declared to be insane and were locked away, ending their lives in asylums. If you believe Frances Coles was a Ripper victim then Cutbush would be the prime suspect as the murders then ended after he was 'caught'.
